Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 1171 Oil Pipeline
Historically, the situation in Russia did not improve in 1993 due to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Instead, Russia believed in the Western "shock therapy", which led to a difficult economic development. The Kremlin, eager to improve the domestic economic situation, is also constantly looking for international buyers to sell resources.

The two sides hit it off immediately. In 1994, the Yushchenko Oil Company held consultations with the Chinese side and proposed the construction of the China-Russia crude oil pipeline project.

Originally, this matter was not complicated. A preliminary cooperation agreement was reached first, and then the remaining technical issues were resolved, including route exploration, pipeline construction, etc. However, due to some reasons, it took a full seven years just to reach an agreement. In September 7, the two sides formally signed the "China-Russia General Agreement on Jointly Carrying out Feasibility Studies on Laying Crude Oil Pipelines", which was the prototype of the "Anda Line". Obviously, in terms of economics, the big Russia is indeed more than one level behind the flower growers.

However, this is just the agreement, and the next step is to prove the route. But at least the most difficult step has been solved, and the rest is much simpler. After all, technical problems are easier to solve than political problems.

However, no one expected that just as the "Anda Line" broke ground, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared halfway.

As we all know, China is a resource-poor country. Its economy took off in the 1960s, which was closely related to its clear resource strategy. In order to diversify its oil sources and meet the country's growing energy needs, China is also looking for oil all over the world. When it learned that the flower growers were in contact with Yushchenko's oil company, China began to make small moves in secret.

Jiaobenji negotiated directly with the Damao Oil Pipeline Transportation Company. As a state-owned enterprise, it is naturally much more important than Yushchenko's company.

Knowing the slow nature of the Russians, the Jiaobenji people did not hesitate to throw out a huge amount of bait in order to reach an oil purchase agreement as soon as possible and block the construction of the "AnDa Line". Jiaobenji promised Russia a "high deposit" of up to 145 billion US dollars.

In addition to spending money, Jiaobenji also launched a full-scale offensive against Mao in terms of politics, economy, and media propaganda, demanding that the "An-Na Line" replace the "Anda Line". As the world's second largest economy at the time, Jiaobenji was naturally richer than us, and its influence was by no means comparable to ours.

In this way, the Anda Line was eventually aborted.

However, some people in later generations estimated that if the Anda Line could be successfully implemented at that time, then with the huge appetite of the Huahua industry, it would have no problem in consuming 50% or even more of Da Mao's oil and natural gas production. I wonder what Da Mao's expression was at that time.

Now Jiang Yan is working to push this matter forward. With Jiang Yan's current status in Damu and the lure of the new project, it will surely be easier to push it forward politically.

"As a human, this still needs to be negotiated with the Damao Oil Pipeline Transportation Company." Jiang Yan said lightly. He didn't want to make the same mistake as later generations.

However, Jiang Yan also thought to himself that if the Da Mao Oil Pipeline Transportation Company was not appreciative, Jiang Yan would not mind buying some of their shares privately. He would also use his own political and economic pressure on Da Mao.

"This will require a lot of money," Chubais said.

"You don't need to worry about the money. I can afford it. Just pay me back with the oil you produce." Jiang Yan waved his hand and spoke in a very heroic manner.

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, the two of them showed joy on their faces. Now they felt that Jiang Yan was just like a boy who was giving away money. You know, the workers of Da Mao could not be given US dollars, but rubles. The US dollars could be converted into rubles in the hands of Da Mao. As long as these money reached the hands of the government, they could be of great use. "However, there are only two months. After two months, I can't be sure. I can only return to my country. This matter ends here. You know, I am doing this entirely for your sake. Such a great achievement is already in your hands. It depends on how you choose." Jiang Yan stretched out two fingers and spoke calmly.

Jiang Yan naturally understood the nature of the Mao government, so he gave two months. If it dragged on for a few years like in the future, and if there were chickens involved, it would be better not to do it. Jiang Yan was seizing the opportunity now, otherwise it would be hard to say what would happen later.

"Okay, I will report to President Boris immediately. We will definitely take this matter seriously." Chubais said, patting his chest.

He just figured it out. What Jiang Yan did, just as he said, could create a lot of jobs. This is a great political achievement. It also indirectly illustrates the advanced nature of privatization. It is reasonable for him to complete it.

The day was busy and noisy, which basically did not match Jiang Yan's desire to take a rest. After finishing things here, Jiang Yan did not go anywhere and went directly back to the Ukraine Hotel, which had been renamed the Moscow Hotel.

"Boss, you're back." As soon as the car stopped at the door of the hotel, Jiang Yan saw a man like a big black rat jumping out. Jiang Yan was stunned at the time. The speed was extremely fast. Then his car door was opened, and he saw Arov smiling very flatteringly.

After Arov knew that he had obtained the quota, he waited here directly in the lobby, drinking cup of coffee after cup, just to wait for Jiang Yan. Arov knew that if he didn't make things clear with Jiang Yan this time, it would be difficult for him to deal with it next time. After all, it was his boss who hired him when he was in trouble, and he couldn't get to where he is now without the help of his boss. Arov admitted that he was not a good person, but he still had to repay his boss for his kindness. Suddenly he received a call informing him to be independent. He felt that it was a betrayal of his boss, otherwise he would not have come here in a hurry to wait for Jiang Yan.

"Boss, thank you for your hard work." Arov said with a smile.

"Okay, Arov, don't act like that. It looks a bit disgusting. Actually, I still like to see you being rebellious." Jiang Yan, in a good mood, teased Arov with a smile.

"Unruly?" Arov was stunned when he heard this word. In all honesty, he always had a smiling face in front of his boss, and he was serious and majestic even in front of his subordinates. Could it be that one of his subordinates had reported him?

There is no word for unruly in Russian, but there is a synonym, which translates to mean serious and majestic.

"Okay, stop looking so dead and hurry up. I have something to discuss with you." Jiang Yan walked to the elevator, turned around and saw Arov standing there with a thoughtful look on his face, so he spoke up to remind him.

"Okay, boss." Arov said and followed Jiang Yan into the elevator.
